Michigan refuses federal request for unredacted voter data, citing privacy laws, as part of broader state resistance.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced the state will not comply with a U.S. Department of Justice request for unredacted voter data, including driver’s license and Social Security numbers, calling the demand a violation of state and federal privacy laws.
The DOJ is suing Michigan over its low voter roll maintenance rate of 4.2%, below the national average of 9.1%.
Benson stated the federal government can conduct oversight using publicly available information and emphasized the need to protect sensitive personal data from identity theft.
Her refusal is part of a broader resistance by over 30 states, including both Democratic and Republican-led offices, to federal demands for access to voter rolls.
